[xacml] Conformance tests. Forwarded message from john howard.

[Anne Anderson <Anne.Anderson@Sun.com>]

Colleagues,

I apologize.  Somehow, the following message did not get forward
to the list.  It contains John Howard's full report on trying to
run the existing set of Conformance Tests against the schema and
specification in use at that time.

I have asked John to wait for the updated Conformance Tests,
rather than my taking the time to respond to these.  I will use
the results from his test to help in making corrections as I work
on the updated tests.

Anne

Hi Anne,

Attached is the full report for the conformance tests we are able to run 
at this time.

Could you clarify a couple of points on two of the tests:

IIB008 as an AttributeValue of read|write.  I'm assuming this is
match read or write.  Is it mandatory to support multiple
attribute values in this way and if it is what are the rules
governing the syntax.  IIB033 defines a DataType of xs:string for
the uri in the Request and xs:anyURI in the policy, but in most
cases DataTypes are not present in the Request.  Is the general
principle then, if the DataType is specified in the Request check
that the types match otherwise assume ythat the type is that
defined in the policy.  If this is the case then ignore the
report on IIB033.

Thanks,

John.
